Pdf produced using FlyingSaucer/iTExt5 is blank
0
I am trying to generate a PDF from a html string and am getting a response but the document is not displayed in the PDF viewer. I appears like I am missing something and the response is a corrupt PDF. Would highly appreciate it if I could get any suggestions.
Have included the following in my pom.xml
<!-- dependencies for saving as PDF -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>
<artifactId>itextpdf</artifactId>
<version>5.5.11</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xhtmlrenderer</groupId>
<artifactId>flying-saucer-core</artifactId>
<version>9.1.16</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xhtmlrenderer</groupId>
<artifactId>flying-saucer-pdf-itext5</artifactId>
<version>9.1.6</version>
</dependency>
My endpoint is a controller and the code looks as below:
@POST
@Produces("application/pdf")
@Path("/renderPDF")
public void renderPDF(@Context HttpServletRequest request, @Context HttpServletResponse response) throws WebAppException
try
String = "<html><body>some content</body></html>";
RenderPDF.createPDF(response, sb);
catch (Exception e)
LOGGER.error("renderPDF", e);
createPDF is defined below:
public class RenderPDF {
public static void createPDF(HttpServletResponse response, String html)
throws IOException, DocumentException, ParserConfigurationException, SAXException
try
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocumentFromString(html);
renderer.layout();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
renderer.createPDF(baos);
// setting some response headers
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control",
"must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
// setting the content type
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
// the contentlength
response.setContentLength(baos.size());
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
baos.writeTo(os);
os.flush();
os.close();
catch(Exception e)

The issue was in my angular http interceptor; the response type needed to be set to arrayBuffer.
